FAQ About Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett significantly contributed to the Theater of the Absurd, a dramatic movement that emerged in the 1950s emphasizing the absurdity of human existence. His plays, particularly "Waiting for Godot," exemplified this genre by using illogical narratives, repetitive dialogues, and surreal elements to highlight life’s paradoxes and the collapse of logical structures in storytelling. Beckett's work often challenges audiences to find meaning amidst apparent meaninglessness, a cornerstone of absurdist theater.
